New Breast Cancer Treatment guidelines.. What a great way for democrats to lose womens vote!!!
My wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer when she was 47 in 2001.. I lost her in 2008.. but the treatment she got bought us many good years.. When her cancer came back it was not in her breast and was VERY aggressive.. IF she did not have it spotted when she did she probably would have died within a year.. Seems to me this policy is just about trying to save insurance companies some money. I pray it is dropped ASAP and I encourage ALL women to get mammograms starting when they are 40.. We have a long way to go in spotting and treating cancer.. but THIS change in policy is not useful AT ALL. and ANY ONE who supports it actively or by blind neglect will lose my vote..
